last spring and later in the earlier summer
some twenty hundred acres Of shore frost land in
Camden harb"r, penobscot Bay, between Can,lcu
and lincolnvle, was bonded in the interest of
Boston parties obviously for the purpose of form
ing a large land company, but the options expired
on sherman Point and other valuable shore land
fronting Camden harbor, October 1T, which was
most important. The opinion prevails among The
owners of the land that the property WAS tied up to
keep parties from buying it this season, as to
give another land company in the vicinity of Bar
llarbor start the same party being Interested in
both places. Some shore farm owners had IN oI-
portunity of selling during the summer at Il
better price than bonded at aud are low in
dignant Others are glad for they can hold for
better prices. The whole cost of the land bonded
was si0o,000. The party bonding has bought some
200 acres and may take more.
